In today’s operating systems, drivers are linked with the kernel where handling pointers and performing memory accesses must be considered with much more care than in application user space. This thesis focuses on two issues. First, memory access to user space must never be done directly, because the access may fault due to insufficient access permissions or unmapped pages. Second, pointers enter
Using tools and ideas from narratology, reader-response theory and cognitive poetics, and focusing on the representation of perception, this essay studies identity in four short stories by Elizabeth Bowen: "The Demon Lover", "The Inherited Clock", "Dead Mabelle" and "Foothold". The supernatural or uncanny element in the stories is seen as part of a defamilia
The aim of this study was to examine children living with a mentally ill parent and see what help and support there is for these children and if it is enough. The study was based on nine posts on the website Kuling, which is a website for children with a mentally ill parent, and five qualitative, semi-structured interviews with professionals working with this issue. The interviews took place in a
The aim of our study was to examine how the staff at community residences handles the residents’ right and ability to make choices and decisions regarding their health, in relation to their disability. We investigated this through semi-structured interviews. Our population consisted of 7 staff members from 4 different community residences, in 3 municipalities in Skåne, Sweden. We constructed an in
The aim of this study was to shed light on how children and young adults that were subject to foster care placement were described in the advertisement of the Swedish website Familjehemsbanken, according to the fourth and eighteenth guideline of Consolidated Code of Advertising and Marketing Communication Practice. The purpose of our study was to problematize how children and young adults were des
Background and Purpose-Patients treated with oral anticoagulants (ACs) have an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which is more often fatal than spontaneous ICH. Options to reverse the AC effect include intravenous administration of vitamin K, plasma, and coagulation factor concentrate. However, the optimal management of AC-related ICH has not been determined in any randomized trial
Purpose: To determine if mutations in the retinal transcription factor gene NRL are associated with retinopathies other than autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples obtained from 50 patients with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), 17 patients with the Enhanced S-Cone Syndrome (ESCS), and a patient with an atypical retinal degeneration tha
This review aims to highlight the importance of saccades during locomotion as a strategy to reduce sensory information loss while the subject is moving. Acquiring sensory data from the environment during movement results in a temporal flow of information, as the sensory precept changes with the position of the observer. Accordingly, the movement pattern shapes the sensory flow. Therefore, the requ
To meet yet higher speed and capacity demands, 5G will turn to mm-waves for more bandwidth. In this paper some receiver design issues occurring when moving from current 4G bands to mm-wave frequencies are discussed. The local oscillator phase noise increases by 6dB/octave with frequency and will ultimately limit spectrum efficiency. To analyze this, a phase noise model, based on a test chip design
A model of the trans-regulation of the Drosophila pair-rule segmentation gene, paired (prd), has been derived from the observed alterations in the distribution of prd transcripts during early embryogenesis in single and double pair-rule mutants. Important aspects of the model include the following features and implications: (i) The regulation of prd is subject to a regulatory hierarchy among pair-
Pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations leading to mitochondrial dysfunction can cause cardiomyopathy and heart failure. These mutations were described in the mt-tRNA genes and in the mitochondrial protein-coding genes. The aim of this study was to identify the genetic defect in two patients belonging to two families with cardiac dysfunction associated to a wide spectrum of clinical phenoty
Global gene expression analysis has been a major tool for urothelial carcinoma subtype discovery. This approach has revealed extensive complexity both in intrinsic features of the tumor cells and in the microenvironment. However, global gene expression cannot distinguish between gene expression signals originating from the tumor cells proper and from normal cells in the biopsy. Here, we use a larg
In this article, a framework for hadronic rescattering in the general-purpose Pythia event generator is introduced. The starting point is the recently presented space–time picture of the hadronization process. It is now extended with a tracing of the subsequent motion of the primary hadrons, including both subsequent scattering processes among them and decays of them. The major new component is cr
BACKGROUND: DNA methylation plays a critical role in breast cancer development. Previous studies have identified DNA methylation marks in white blood cells as promising biomarkers for breast cancer. However, these studies were limited by low statistical power and potential biases. Using a new methodology, we investigated DNA methylation marks for their associations with breast cancer risk. METHODS
Reading is based on the idea of Cultural Patterns, which happen to be the mostimportant tool of Cultural Criticism Forms. This means that reading has taken asystematic path to the Cultural Criticism that led to explosion of research in the most important Blogs in the Arab and Humanistic Heritage. Taking cue from this insight, researches argue that, the book of Kalila and Domna demonstrates the exi
OBJECTIVE To compare retinal function via full-field electroretinographic (ffERG) recordings in 6.5-year-old children born extremely preterm with children born at term. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A subcohort studywas conducted from July 1, 2010, to January 15, 2014, of the national Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study, including preterm children (<27 weeks' gestational age) and childre
Popular Abstract in Swedish De halländska städerna har ibland setts som föga mer än förvuxna bondbyar eller ”agrara köpstäder”. Men hur förhöll det sig med den saken egentligen? Var tillvaron i städerna främst präglad av närheten till det agrara omlandet eller har kontakterna med de större köpstäderna spelat en större roll? Hur har städer och byar förhållit sig till varandra under olika tidsperiodDuring the 1700's lifestyle and material culture varied a lot between towns and rural areas. The aim for this thesis is to study how this difference between town and countryside emerges and how an identity as a burgher or farmer will manifest itself in the material culture. An important question is if it is possible to find a particular urban lifestyle and if that is the case, what it looks like.
